Creatine is often labeled as a “gym supplement,” but it is so much more.

In this episode of the Rare Wellness Podcast, Dr. Jamie Lewis breaks down what creatine really is, how it works inside the body, and why it’s one of the most researched and effective supplements for muscle strength, brain health, and healthy aging.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How creatine supports muscle strength and helps combat age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia)

• Why creatine may improve cognitive performance and mental resilience under stress

• The truth about creatine safety, kidney health, and common myths

• Evidence-based dosing strategies for performance, longevity, and recovery

• How creatine fits into regenerative and performance medicine programs

Creatine isn’t a replacement for good sleep, nutrition, and training—but when those foundations are in place, it can be a powerful force multiplier for long-term health and function.

🔥 Visceral fat is one of the most dangerous—and most misunderstood—forms of fat.

In this episode of the Rare Wellness Podcast, host Dr. Jamie Lewis breaks down what visceral fat is, why it’s far more harmful than subcutaneous fat (what most people think of when they hear "fat"), and—most importantly—what you can do to reduce it using evidence-based strategies.

You’ll learn why where fat is stored matters more than how much you weigh, and why two people with the same body weight can have completely different health risks.

Key Topics Covered:

• Why visceral fat drives chronic inflammation

• Its link to insulin resistance and fatty liver disease

• How visceral fat disrupts testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol

• Why BMI alone is a poor marker of metabolic health

• How to assess visceral fat (DEXA, waist circumference, labs)

• Proven strategies to reduce visceral fat through sleep, exercise, nutrition, stress management, and targeted therapies

The good news? Visceral fat is highly responsive to lifestyle change—and often the first fat your body burns when metabolic health improves.

In this episode of the Rare Wellness Podcast, host Dr. Jamie Lewis breaks down the science behind exosomes, cutting through the hype to explain what they actually do — and what they don’t do — in regenerative medicine.

Exosomes have rapidly gained attention in the wellness and orthopedic space, often advertised as injectable solutions for pain, injury, and anti-aging. But the real story is far more nuanced 🔬. Dr. Lewis explains that exosomes are biological messengers, not living cells — and that true healing requires activating your body’s own regenerative systems 🧬.

🔑 Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✅ What exosomes are and how they function as cellular “text messages”

✅ Why platelets act as your body’s first responders 🚒

✅ The critical role of stem cells as the “general contractors” of healing 🏗️

✅ Why exogenous (donor-derived) exosomes don’t align with how biology actually works

✅ The FDA’s position on off-the-shelf exosome products ⚠️

✅ Why autologous regenerative therapies are biologically sound approaches

Dr. Lewis uses clear analogies and real-world examples to explain why real regeneration comes from living cells responding to your specific injury, not disconnected signals from a petri dish. This episode empowers you to make informed decisions and avoid misleading regenerative medicine claims.
